Tailgate in Style in the Big Easy

With more than a quarter of a million fans coming to New Orleans for the BCS National Championship between Alabama and LSU kicking off Monday, hotels in New Orleans are nearly all sold out.

For some fans traveling to see the big game doesn't mean roughing it.

Parking lots throughout The Big Easy are filled with hundreds of yellow and gold, or crimson-clad, RV’s- some costing more than a million-dollars. What could possibly be inside a motor home to make it cost a million-plus dollars? For starters, a fireplace, two-bathrooms, four TV’s, a king sized bed and walk-in shower.

Another motor home we toured is actually built on the bed of an 18-wheeler. Inside, besides comfy couches and big TV’s, the tile floors are temperature controlled, staying between 72 and 76-degrees Fahrenheit. The big-screen TV in the bedroom doubles as a mirror when it’s turned off.

The front windshield of George Boudreaux’s 45 ft. Tiffin Zephyr is filled with LSU Tiger memorabilia, including a miniature replica of the BCS National Championship Trophy. Inside is a spacious living area lined with leather sofas next to the full kitchen, complete with a family-sized fridge and freezer.

Two big-screen TV’s, one at each end of the living room, ensure a single play isn’t missed.
